Subject: please someone rescue this dew- could be an all time great

Oh and the rest of the show is pretty damn good too- esp pitb and the outro jam to ujb- but this dew- ohmigod sounds at least as good as the 6/21/89 but will we ever know? Can someone hook jer's cable back in? What a cryin shame- who was there? at the show? please tell me how good the dew was- I am in awe at what I heard- even the vocals were strong- and then poof goes jer's guitar- damn

Subject: Sorry Syd

Jerry is nearly inaudible on the audience tape as well. Worse, he doesn't even try on the closing jam, perhaps thinking his volume's still down so what's the use? The rest of the show is stellar, though.

I'm standing up for this recording too! Someone posted the fantastic Healy mix and what does it do? Throws out one of the greatest Jerry solos of the year because someone kicked a cable or something. But the audience tapes manage to capture it even though you can still hear the glitch. A magnificent Dew and just like most of the great things in life it tries to elude us.

One of the great computer geniuses that haunt this site could no doubt really rescue it and throw it into even clearer relief but I stand by this as one of the best Dew's of the 80's (see my review of the SBD to get the story of how I first heard it). I find it funny that the soundboard freaks get left behind by this one.

Oakland is a pig to record in and this recording impresses. The show's damn fine too. I think the other audience posting is the same recording and may contain more details.

This show has great sound quality. It's crystal. I haven't listened to it all yet, but what I have heard sounds like late 80s magic. Playin'>Crazy Fingers>UJB is great.

I'm giving it 5 stars both because I feel it and to try to offset the errant rating below. If anybody else wants to do the same and give it a fair rating, by all means.
